Chapter 97: Raptors Crossing the River——Qiyun Village

Able to determine the direction and know the approximate distance.

Everyone decided to rush to the front and occupy the favorable terrain first.

This new term was said by Yan Laoer. Let’s think about it carefully and think about it.

It's like digging a trap for wild animals.

The light of the torches is getting closer.

They were lying in ambush on both sides of the path, in groups of six, squatting in two rows.

The deer boy ran back like flying.

His face was full of panic.

"Uncle Yan, they are the victims fleeing the famine. The bandits are escorting them this way."

Disaster victims?!

No one expected that there would be disaster victims here.

Aren't they on the official track?

Uncle An asked anxiously: "Did the bandits arrest someone and join their gang?"

Lu Xiaozi quickly shook his head: "There are men, women, and children."

This is finished!

Yan Laoer didn't know what to do for a while.

On the contrary, Yan Huaiwen was very calm and said: "If we take the victims with us, the target should not be us, but if these people go further, they will encounter the convoy, and we must leave them here."

"Brother, there are still victims inside." Yan Laoer started to panic again.

"I know, so we have to wait until they get closer, have weapons in their hands, and hold torches. They must be bandits. Then we will follow the order we have arranged and lock our targets."

He looked at his younger brother and asked him seriously: "God bless you, can you do that?"

Yan Laoer gritted his teeth and said, "I have no problem, brother!"

"Okay! We will follow your command."

As this team of about a hundred people approached, the people squatting in the grass did not dare to move.

Yan Laoer silently calculated the distance.

Fifty meters, thirty meters... closer.

No, you have to wait.

The leading bandits had already reached the middle of their ambush.

At this moment, Yan Laoer shouted: "First round, shoot!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Countless bamboo arrows shot out of the grass on both sides of the path.

"Second round, shoot!"

There was almost no gap between the two rounds. Six people locked on a target. At such a close distance, if the vision was good during the day, it would almost hit the face. That is, the night was dark, and the bandits were unprepared. There were people hiding in the grass on the roadside.

.

Some bandits were unlucky and were taken away in a wave, and some were lucky and missed their vital points.

There was also the bandit at the back of the team who was intact.

"what happened!"

"There's an ambush!"

"who?!"

Yan Laoer mustered up all his strength and shouted: "We want these people from Qi Shanzhai, you hurry up and get out. If you don't get out, don't blame grandpa for pricking you all over the face!"

The fierce bandit was about to pull the victim in front of him to block the arrow, but he was stunned when he heard this.

He is not a member of the government, but a colleague.

"Qi Shanzhai, I will remember you. The green mountains will not change and the green water will always flow. We will have a long future!"

The bandits uttered harsh words and ran away...

Yan Laoer:......

Are you going to stop talking to me and talk nonsense?

Just run away so easily?

Bandits: Nonsense! Don’t look at how many brothers we have left behind once we meet. We are too embarrassed to live long, and we are nagging you. We only need a name so that we can explain to the bosses when we go back.

Yan Huaiwen looked at his younger brother in amazement.

My family is blessed by God and has quick wits!

The victims who were left behind did not dare to run away, and were trembling as they waited to be taken over by another group of bandits.

The child's mouth was tightly covered by his mother-in-law.

Only a pair of frightened eyes were left exposed, and his face was red from suppressing it.

Yan Laoer: "I tell you, mother, please let go quickly. If you hold it so tightly, the child will be unable to hold his breath!"

As soon as he stood up, everyone stood up with him.

When the mother-in-law saw the crowd, not only did she not let go, she even tightened her grip nervously.

Yan Laoer took a look and thought it was okay.

Helplessly, he put on a fierce look.

He shook the iron crossbow in his hand.

"I told you all to let go, do you hear me?"

The child's mother was shaking so much that she could hardly stand, and she let go of her hand with trembling all over.

The child could breathe, but was scared and started crying loudly.

When one child cries, all the children cry with him.

The parents wanted to cover their mouths, but did not dare to do anything. They knelt on the ground in a hurry and kept kowtowing.

"Uncle, uncle, please, we are obedient. I can coax good children. Please, please don't beat the children. Beat us, uncle..."

A series of pleas.

The bandits who escaped turned around and gasped.

"Qi Shanzhai? I haven't heard of it before. I like this tune. Even if the little kid cries in the middle of the night, it won't make him panic."

"Run quickly. What if I catch up with you?"

"Did you see clearly how the person in front died?"

"He was shot to death! There are many people in this gang, and they are good at using bows. They are not easy to mess with! They came out of nowhere and are here to compete with us for territory?"

"What's there to grab in this barren mountain and wilderness? It's not much of a business to grab."

Yan Laoer's ears were buzzing from crying.

Yan Huaiwen stood up and called on the villagers to pull the victims aside.

He said softly: "We are not bandits..."

While Lao Yan was comforting the victims, Uncle An, with a cold face, slowly led the people closer to the bandits who were barely shot to death.

Yan Laoer saw this and called him: "Uncle An, don't be busy."

Uncle An asked in surprise: "Yan Er, do you want to do it yourself?"

"No, no, no!" Yan Laoer denied repeatedly.

"I want to ask them a few words."

Uncle An thought for a while and said, "Wait a moment."

He led a few mountain men with sticks to sweep away the bandits' weapons, and then beat them up with crackling sounds.

When the bandits couldn't stand it anymore and begged for mercy, they stopped and said to Yan Laoer, "Okay, just ask."

Yan Laoer found a suitable distance, stood still, and began to ask: "Which hilltop are you from?"

The bandit looked up at him with cruel eyes.

"Old Songshan." The answer was quite cheerful.

Uncle An added from the side: "There are more than a hundred people in Laosong Village in Laosong Mountain, which is considered the largest bandit den in the vicinity."

"Lao Antou, you are Lao Huangli. I am afraid there are hundreds of people in our Laosongzhai right now. Just wait, some of the leaders will definitely avenge our brothers."

Hundreds of people!

Yan Laoer signaled Uncle An to stop talking.

"Have all the mountain people around here entered your village?"

"That's right! Our heads are brave and tied everyone up the mountain early in the morning. You guys are late and can only pick up our leftovers."

"They!" Yan Laoer pointed at Uncle An and his gang, "We snatched them from the third master of Chuanyun Village."

"I think you can do it, do you want to join our Qiyun Village?" He continued to boast: "Don't think we are outsiders, you know, even if a fierce dragon crosses the river, our Qiyun Village is a fierce dragon crossing the river!"

The bandit stared at him and said nothing.

"Your injuries can still be treated. We need someone who is familiar with various hills. You, or the other two who are still breathing..."

When he said this, the bandit suddenly turned his head and looked at the two brothers who were still alive not far away.

The three people looked at each other and sparks flew everywhere.
